I believe the answer is:

tally

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'a hunting' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'cry? ho no' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tally that I've seen before include "List" , "Agree, add up" , "Record; current score" , "Count up; match" , "Record; agree" .)
